Chapter 76 A Broken Drum Gets Punished by Everyone; The Lawyer Wants to Scam the Zheng Family's Money

Inside the Detention Center, Father Zheng's mental state was not particularly good. Going from being high and mighty to a prisoner was something Father Zheng found somewhat difficult to accept.

Moreover, he received no special treatment inside the Detention Center. Whatever the other inmates had to do, Father Zheng had to do as well. Looking at the unpalatable food on the table, Father Zheng wore an ugly expression.

It was also on this day that Father Zheng realized there were actually people in this world who ate such things. Just as Father Zheng was preparing not to eat, a voice caught his attention.

"Financial News: Zheng Group has successfully acquired the remaining shares of Su Chemical from Su Group, leaping to become the actual controller of Su Chemical. According to insiders, this acquisition was due to the compensation for the breach of contract case. Because they were truly unable to pay these damages, Su Group had no choice but to sell Su Chemical to Zheng Group, and it has been renamed Zheng Chemical. Currently, Zheng Group has not yet publicly responded to this matter."

Upon hearing this news, Father Zheng instinctively looked up.

As expected.

Su Chemical still ended up belonging to Zheng Group, belonging to Zheng Jie. Thinking of this, Father Zheng felt a complex mix of emotions.

Zheng Group is gone, Su Chemical is gone.

Now the biggest winner is Zheng Group, is Zheng Jie.

Father Zheng sighed.

"Sigh, I hope Zheng Tian and his mother can hold on."

The next morning, Mrs. Zheng appeared in a fairly refined private room; she was waiting for someone here.

Unable to reach anyone to save her husband, Mrs. Zheng could only contact a lawyer now to see, if this matter were truly settled, how many years of imprisonment there might be.

Mrs. Zheng also knew that now was not the time to be stingy with money, so she specifically hired one of the famous local lawyers. Moreover, this lawyer had certain connections; he would know many things that others did not, as he would seek out these connections for his clients to see if there was any way to reduce the sentence.

Soon, the door to the private room was pushed open, and the next second, a person in a suit and leather shoes appeared before Mrs. Zheng.

"Lawyer Huang."

"Mrs. Zheng."

"Please, sit."

At this moment, Mrs. Zheng's mood could hardly be called good. Her face was full of exhaustion, and her dark circles were heavy. It was evident that she probably hadn't rested much the previous night. After all, with such a big incident in the family, if one still had the mood to sleep, then their heart would be too big.

"Thank you."

Lawyer Huang sat down in front of Mrs. Zheng.

"Lawyer Huang, even if I don't say it, you should already know about our family's situation. It's like this: I want to ask, if it's just this charge, how many years will my husband get?"

When Mrs. Zheng spoke, her tone was trembling. Hearing this, Lawyer Huang took a deep breath.

"How many years for the charge?"

"This... it specifically depends on how much money you gave Dean Chen. However, the only good news is... at the very least, Dean Chen hadn't done it yet before he was caught. Otherwise, it would be a nailed-on sentence of over ten years in prison."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng took a deep breath.

If it really were a prison sentence of over ten years... would her husband still have a chance to come out alive?

"The specific amount... it should probably be gold, and some miscellaneous things. Adding it all together, it should be around 6 million."

"6 million?"

"Yes, that should be the specific amount. What's wrong, Lawyer Huang?"

"If it is this figure, then this money... it is not a small sum. It could be a fixed-term imprisonment of over ten years, or it could be a fixed-term imprisonment of over three years but under ten years. Currently, it is more likely to be a fixed-term imprisonment of over ten years."

At this time, Lawyer Huang picked up the water glass in front of him and took a sip of water. Immediately after, Lawyer Huang looked up at Mrs. Zheng.

"Mrs. Zheng, on the way here just now, I also contacted some people, and they told me some not-so-good news."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

"Not-so-good news? What not-so-good news?"

"That is... a few days ago, Zheng Group filed a report with the relevant departments."

"Report? Report what?"

Hearing such words at this time, Mrs. Zheng's heart was filled with fear. Listening to this, Lawyer Huang took a deep breath.

"During Mr. Zheng's time as Chairman of Zheng Group, he illegally cashed out a large amount of funds from the company for gambling, and the amount involved is 160 million. Currently, Zheng Group is formally filing a report regarding this matter. There is also the illegal transfer of assets abroad. These have all been confirmed, so I think this matter also needs to be guarded against."

Mrs. Zheng's face looked terrible upon hearing this. She had not expected that the current Zheng Jie was hunting them down, giving them absolutely no way out. Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng took a deep breath.

"Then if these matters are confirmed..."

"160 million... compensation should be provided, estimated to be around 500 million. And for the illegal transfer of assets abroad, there should also be a fine for this part. This part will most likely be around 5 times the assets you transferred."

Lawyer Huang also felt a headache now.

Because the other party's matter was too complex, and the people behind it were very powerful. If it weren't for the 50 million in legal fees, Lawyer Huang would never have agreed to take on this case under any circumstances.

"Lawyer Huang, I beg you, you must think of a way."

"Please rest assured about this; I will definitely do my utmost. After all, our legal profession is about taking people's money and doing things for them, but I am not certain if this matter can succeed."

In reality, Lawyer Huang had no intention of putting in any effort at all; his idea was very simple, which was to fleece them for money. Being able to get 50 million from the Zheng family was equivalent to all the money he had earned over the past few years, which made it worth a try for him.

"I understand."

"In any case, I hope you can tell me everything about the matter now. If you tell me, perhaps I might come up with some way."

"I am actually not very clear about the specific matters; it was all arranged by my husband, so the specific amount... I am not clear about."

These amounts were basically given to Zheng Tian, who was abroad at the time, so it was estimated that it must have been quite a lot of money. Hearing this, Lawyer Huang frowned tightly.

"Then, besides these matters, are there any other things?"

"I don't know specifically."

Lawyer Huang was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

So the other party didn't know anything at all? In that case, there was no point in him staying here anymore, was there?

"Really, you don't know anything else?"

"Yes..."

Lawyer Huang sighed upon hearing this.

"Alright, I understand. Next, I will look for some friends and ask some friends to inquire about it."

"Lawyer Huang, when can we see my husband?"

"This... is not certain... According to information from relevant departments, we can only see Mr. Zheng after the investigation is concluded. In any case, if I know, I will tell you as soon as possible."

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Lawyer Huang."

"It's nothing... this is all what I should do."

Seeing that the time was about right, Lawyer Huang did not stay here for too long. He stood up and turned to leave.

Watching Lawyer Huang's retreating figure, Mrs. Zheng sighed.

"Zheng Jie... sigh, so this is what you were waiting for."

Only at this moment did Mrs. Zheng understand that the other party never intended to give them the full 20 billion. Because they still had to take back a portion of this money, and if one were to add in the fines, this money... would not have much left. Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng sighed.

Perhaps, at this moment, she finally understood that her second son was more ruthless than she had imagined.

And before that 10% share of Zheng Group was in hand, Zheng Jie had been pretending all along. Now that the shares were in hand, Zheng Jie had no need to pretend anymore.

Moreover... his moves were not some so-called small scuffles; he was attacking the other party fiercely. In front of Zheng Jie, these people of the Zheng family were truly not worth mentioning, and were even quite pathetic.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng shook her head and got up to leave. She needed to go home now to ask her husband exactly how much money he had transferred to Zheng Tian back then.

Now she... hoped that this was not a very high number. If it were very high, then their fines would be even more. Thinking of this, Mrs. Zheng went home with some final expectations in her heart, and these expectations... vanished completely when Zheng Tian said that number.
